Today's OCRemix: "Cereberon: Fragfest Mix" Quake II Remix by Bart Klepka. YOu may notice that this link does not lead to OCRemix.org directly, but rather to a site belonging to Mr. Bart Klepka, who owns and maintains the site himself. Sort of the way that theotaku.com eventually started hosting MyO. In any event, Klepka is known for his brilliant remixes of pieces from PC games, to quote djpretzel: "Does Bart Klepka ever make a bad PC mix? the answer: No!" Anyway, I have never really played Quake II myself, but the remix, without a doubt, has a good beat to it, with some fast paced techno, that sounds kind of cheesy at the beginning, but definitely evolves into a powerful techno rumble later on. Great for playing any fast-paced FPS a la Quake series, and you might expect to see more info on mixes by Bart Klepka from me. Tomorrow is the big day, y'all. I finally head out to march on the big football field in front of the school, and, as a last minute change of plans, I'm going to end up leading the entire drill team in rifle drills at "halftime", which was surprising, but certainly not too difficult. I look forward to it, and, despite the fact that I think our crew could use a bit more practice, I think thing should work out reasonably well, as long as no one drops their rifles during the big rifle toss. Well, after the Cadets inspection is over, I get on a bus to head on a vacation spanning the long weekend with some friends. My parents seem just a bit uptight about it, but I am going to a big city, and so things might be a bit stressful for a small-town Canadian like myself. Heh, I plan on coming back with some nice clothes or something, maybe some anime if I can find it. (cable internet still takes some time, you know.) Anyway, I plan on updating this site sometime soon featuring an FLCL theme. I just finished downloading and watching all the subbed episodes, as well as downloading some of the soundtrack. (The Pillows are a very cool J-rock band) I liked the series because, well, it possessed a sort of randomness and lack of comprehension that makes some TV shows funny, such as Naota's father constantly talking about anime, and eventually admitting that he is a character in an anime as well. I then showed it it my dad, who didn't seem to appreciate te random humour, and was more surprised with the opening with Maimimi and Naota, saying it seemed a bit...mature...for a show like that. I had a long talk with his about that one, and I like arguing with my dad, in a way, because we can point-counterpoint each other and speak intelligently like adults. Anyway, he told me that he thought what he saw was a bit shocking not necessarily because it is a cartoon, but because it's about children in a cartoon. I suppose he had a point, but I said that it wasn't even that much, just a guy and his girlfriend, nothing that mature that people cannot watch. After a bit more talk about this, which I won't get into right now, he said that I had some good points, and that he had nothing against me watching the show, but just told me that other people might not be quite as lenient in their opinions as he was. I could figure that out pretty easily, especially after hering that story on OB about that lady who tried to sue Cartoon Network for airing FLCL. A word of advice to all you major anime freaks our there, I read an artile on FLCL the other day on the net, and the reason the show itself might make little sense is becuase almost, if not over, 50% of the show contains references to other anime shows, including Neon Genesis Evangelion and Doraemon. Finally, something funny happened on ACO over the past week. There was the restarting of the monthly writing contest, and not one person was able to make the deadline. Sad, but true, we all have been way too busy. I am feeling rather weary now, so I think I'll leave it at that, and let everyone else decide what to say about it. My school life takes a lot out of me, I have no idea how I'm going to survive college. -Won-daa-shot
